I tried to get pregnant naturally, but every month was unsuccessful, and so I began the painful and emotional rollercoaster journey of IVF, over the years I did about six rounds of IVF, all with disappointing results. One day Nadia Ronchi is a fashion stylist who lived I lay on my bed, doing some mediation, and I felt a cool breeze starting in NYC for many years, she recently returned from the top of my head that travelled along my body and right over to reside in London with her husband, twins my feet, I closed my eyes tight and just knew that this was a message and 3 dachshund’s, she is represented by Zara from my beloved grandmother who had passed on, and that whatever Ronchi in Europe and Kate Ryan inc in the U.S. happened, everything would be as it should be, and that she was by my side. I started to make peace with the fact that maybe it wasn’t my destiny to be a parent, and as I slowly let go of the dream a miracle happened, I finally fell pregnant with my wonderful twins. Gala Isolde and Roman Wolfe arrived at 29.5 weeks, and were born the day after my birthday! They were so tiny, I remember looking at them through their incubators in hospital and being too scared to touch them with my finger, they were bright red and looked like little alien fairies, so delicate and otherworldly, even then Gala was funny, something about her whole demeanor was comical and willful, the sweet Caribbean nurses who looked after her made her a special little hat with a bow, and they would say to me with a laugh “That Gala she is feisty!!” Poor Roman had awful acid reflux, he was more serious and in pain, his little chin would wobble and as I looked at him one day I thought he would have a long life. He was bigger than Gala, and still is to this day, she never caught up to him, we call Gala mouse as she is so small. Today my adorable twins are five years of age and so sweet, naughty, curious, kind, bossy, creative, independent and funny. Roman and I will sit on the sofa and sometimes watch a Disney movie and if someone dies and the character has to learn the lesson of loss, I will cry because I’m a big softie, and to my amazement I will look over at Roman and see big hot tears cruising down his cheeks, and I’m amazed that someone so young understands and feels empathy for others? And I think to myself what a gentle, loving soul he is and how lucky the woman he will marry.......yes I know I’m already biased! Miss Gala is a beacon of light, we are all under her spell and attracted to her like moths, she shines, and you just want to be near her and have her sweet little mouth whisper something silly into your ear, and for a moment you are her best-friend and giggling conspirator.
